The weather was crappy for the last two days of my stay at Ben’s. I had hoped to get back to Minnewashta park for a walk but ended up just going around the neighborhood. As we were walking by a house, a large brown dog came charging out at us and, of course, Joey went ballistic and kept antagonizing the dog. The owner was right there, but she couldn’t get him to stop for quite a while. Eventually she did and no harm was done other that a lot of growling and barking but it was still scary.
I’ve been working on a felted cat project for Tracey who is a cat lover and asked Pat if I would be bringing her one of my fuzzy creations. So - in hopes of cheering her up a big, I made this silly guy (left) and the image I used as a guide on the right. I hope it makes her laugh.
I came back home on Monday afternoon, a couple of hours before the family got back, as I didn’t want to leave Yoshi alone for too long. It was nice to get back home - for a couple of days - as I will leave for Wisconsin on Thursday morning. The big news on Monday was the total eclipse of the sun although it was cloudy and we didn’t get to see any of it. The path was quite a bit to the south and east so we would have only been able to see about 75% of it anyway. This is a photo by Peter Herman Landscape Photography, an artist that I follow on Facebook. The country was crazy about it and many cities and small towns along the path we’re expecting large numbers of people for the viewing.
Camille called me Monday night and gave me a play be play description of their time at the water park in Mexico. She also shared photos of her and Norah with their hair braided and then what she looked like after taking the braids out. Cute!
I had my annual eye checkup yesterday, helped two residents with their rent rebate forms, took Joey to the vet for a nail trim, and gave him a little trim (face and legs) on my own. We finally have a sunny day.
